    Thank you for sharing this article. As someone who has had long COVID since before vaccines were available, I wish this was more common knowledge.

    I’m lucky enough to be a lot better off than I was and close to symptom-free much of the time. But it was baaaad for well over two years for me.

    Despite overwhelming evidence of the wide-ranging risks of COVID-19, a great deal of messaging suggests that it is no longer a threat to the public. Although there is no empirical evidence to back this up, this misinformation has permeated the public narrative.

    The data, however, tells a different story.

      Crazy thing is that I also read an article today about how long COVID rates are going way down among the vaccinated. So sorry you had to go through that

        Yeah, good to finally see how much protection vaccines provide against Long COVID, that stat has been eluding me for a long time.
